A first-principle's method to predict the intercalation voltage for lithium in metal oxides is presented. Although the intercalation voltage for lithium is often related to aspects of the electronic structure, this voltage can only be accurately calculated from the lithium chemical potential in the anode and cathode. Using the pseudopotential technique the average intercalation voltage of LiMO2 cathodes is computed for M = Ti, V, Co, Ni and Cu. Although no experimental data are used as input, agreement with experiment is good, indicating the potential to use this method to predict the properties of new compounds.

Ab initio study of lithium intercalation in metal oxides and metal dichalcogenides Aydınol, Mehmet Kadri; Ceder, Gerbrand; Cho, Kang; Joannopoulos, John (1997-07-15) A study of the average voltage to intercalate lithium in various metal oxides is presented. By combining the ab initio pseudopotential method with basic thermodynamics the average intercalation voltage can be predicted without the need for experimental data. This procedure is used to systematically study the effect of metal chemistry, anion chemistry, and structure. It is found that Li is fully ionized in the intercalated compounds with its charge transferred to the anion and to the metal. The substantial c...
Development and characterization of high power density cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries Doğu, Şafak; Aydınol, Mehmet Kadri; Evis, Zafer; Department of Micro and Nanotechnology (2015) In this thesis, facile and cost efficient aqua based synthesis method is developed to synthesize power dense and fast rechargeable LiFePO4 cathode materials. In order to obtain nano sized crystal morphology, nucleation controlled techniques were studied on precursor synthesis. These techniques are freeze (cryogenic) drying with co-precipitation and ultrasound assisted sub-sequential precipitation with vacuum drying at low temperatures (<350 K). In co-precipitation with freeze drying synthesis, star-like pla...
Application of ab initio methods to secondary lithium batteries Aydınol, Mehmet Kadri; Ceder, G. (1998-01-01) Ab initio methods have started to be widely used in materials science for the prediction of properties of metals, alloys and compounds. These methods basically require only the atomic numbers of the constituent species. Such methods not only provide us with predictions of some of the properties of the material (even before synthesizing it) but also help us in understanding the phenomena that control those properties. The use of ab initio methods in the field of electrochemistry is, however, quite recent and...
Ab initio calculation of the LixCoO2 phase diagram Van Der Ven, Anton; Aydınol, Mehmet Kadri; Ceder, Gerbrand (1998-01-01) The electrochemical properties of the layered intercalation compound LiCoO2 used as a cathode in Li batteries have been investigated extensively in the past 15 years. Despite this research, little is known about the nature and thermodynamic driving forces for the phase transformations that occur as the Li concentration is varied. In this work, the phase diagram of LixCoO2 is calculated from first principles for x ranging from 0 to 1. Our calculations indicate that there is a tendency for Li ordering at x = ...
AB initio modelling of materials proper ties for catalytic and device applications Şensoy, Mehmet Gökhan; Toffoli, Hande; Toffoli, Daniele; Department of Physics (2017) The first-principles computations based on density functional theory is used to study the adsorption properties and the activation of CO, CO2 and H2O on gamma-Al2O3(100) surface. A systematic study has been conducted to identify the most stable adsorption sites for both mono- and di-atomic Pt clusters. Several stable adsorption geometries have been identified for the species as well as introduces their interaction with Pt clusters and the support. In this context, analysis of the adsorption properties allow...
